Bullet Ruck – Overview

The Bullet Ruck is simple, streamlined, and rugged. It is created as an active 15L daypack that you can just grab and go. It has the same design as the medical rucks used by Special Forces and opens flat for easy packing and organizing. The ruck uses a 210D Cordura back panel and under-shoulder straps so you can wear it with a tank top or even shirtless without irritation or friction burns no matter the weight in the Bullet.

The top handle and the shoulder straps are extra padded so you can carry heavier loads more comfortably. The 15L Bullet fits the 10LB, 20LB, and 30LB Ruck Plates (for Rucker) or (for GR1) in the plate pocket. It only has a single compartment and three interior pockets for a streamlined design. The hydration bladder clips into the interior D-ring with a carabiner and feed the hose through the exit port under the top handle of the backpack.

Like other GORUCK rucksacks, the Bullet also uses the YKK zippers with silent, glove-friendly zipper pulls formed from parachute 550 cord. It has three rows of external MOLLE webbing that allow you to customize with other MOLLE-friendly accessories. The Bullet is highly water-resistant, using 500D CORDURA® as its primary material. It weighs 1.62 LBS and measures 10″W x 18.5″H x 5.5″D.

Bullet Ruck Review – In Summary

That’s our review of the Bullet Ruck from GORUCK.

You can now say goodbye to rucksacks or backpacks hurting your shoulders and your back. The Bullet Ruck is an all-new 210D HT (High Tenacity) CORDURA® on the back panel, and the underside of the shoulder straps is less abrasive and doesn’t irritate the skin. If you are looking for “all the weight”, go with a Rucker. If you want streamlined and highly packable, go with the 15L Bullet.
